RUSKIN BOND’S CHILDREN’S OMNIBUS BRINGS TOGETHER SOME OF HIS BEST-LOVED STORIES, ACCOMPANIED BY DELIGHTFUL ILLUSTRATIONS. Most of these stories are set in the hills, but their appeal is universal. This volume includes the ever popular Grandfather’s Private Zoo, a favourite with generations of children; the two novellas, Angry River and The Blue Umbrella, both of which have children as protagonists; and short stories such as “Cricket for the Crocodile’ and ‘Dust on the Mountain, which chronicle small-town life in northern India. Simple and heart-warming, and written in Ruskin Bond’s witty and humourous style, these stories will enthral children and adults alike.
